Upper end of my range, plus I've already got one or two (or three, or ????) 58cm bikes. Someone will come along to make a deal on it, thread will probably migrate to the sub-forum though.

Looks pretty nice, and it's my size. I don't know if I have any bikes that I want to trade at the moment.... I'll need to think on that....
What do you mean be road bike? To me, your Voyageur is a road bike, what needs are you looking to suit?

yes it is a road bike i agree. i was looking for something with a little bit more agressive geometry, 700c wheels and something a tad newer if possible. i love this bike it has been great to me. im only 5'10'' and have no problems with the size.

It isn't newer but I've got a very nice 1987 Bianchi Brava if you are interested. It is all original except the bar tape and is full Shimano 105 with 7 speed index down levers and aero SLR brakes. I'll have to measure when I get home - it may be a 59cm but I'm also 5' 10" with 32" inseam and it fits me fine.
It has a very sweet quick ride and I had no intention of parting with it but I'm a sucker for touring bikes. If you have any interest PM me with email and I can send pictures and more details. It is a very dark blue with celeste graphics and cables. Nice narrow semi aero rims with 20c tires.
Otherwise I have a 23" 1984 Bridgestone 400 but it is set up with index barcons so probably not a whole lot different feel than your Voyager.
Are you in the UP or lower MI?

I don't live too close or anything, but I might be interested if you haven't gotten rid of it yet. Sent a PM. Let me know.

I'm going to lock this. There is an appropriate forum.
